Background about WWE’s Clash in Italy PLE that will be airing on Netflix internationally.
The next Premium Live Event on the schedule for WWE is Clash in Italy on May 31st from Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy.

Spitzer shared that Netflix and WWE executives met at the beginning of 2026, and it was known that WWE on Netflix would be launching in Italy in April. It was decided that it would be beneficial to host a Premium Live Event in the country.
“When we sit down with them at the beginning of this year, whether it’s Nick Khan or Paul Levesque, their Chief Content Officer, it’s what are places that we can go around the world that’s gonna help grow WWE but also be beneficial to Netflix and this year, we knew, in Italy, we were launching in April and later this month in May, they’re gonna do one of their big PLEs, Premium Live Events in Turin so, it’s a way to push people to watch on Netflix but it’s a way to grow their business as well.”
